Holland on Fire?

What is happening in Holland? When I read nu.nl the last weeks there are quite many reports on fires. Because of the bad economy or the dry (hot?) weather?
Large fires in Soest, Deventer, Oosterwijk, een woonboot, Voorschoten to name a view. Also a lot of violence realted gunshot-kniving casualties e.g. shooting Arnhem, kniving Leiden, stabbing Rotterdam, Gouda. Is Holland going to the boiling point or are these just observations from someone not living there. This one tops it all, and worries me deeply. Everybody is talking respect, where the fuck is it? Gone out of the window, only a word on Hyves?
[Update] Then I read this article. Top 5 spots are taken by countries with the highest tax-rates. So paying tax makes you happier. I wonder about one explanation, "people are thriving because their basic needs are taken care off". Could be much truth in that.
